seems like trump mainly uses “low IQ” to describe black people. of a piece with his birtherism and his insistence that there are specific, low-wage “black jobs” that must be protected from immigrants

Shopping for EVs in the US is infuriating. It’s a process of finding a super cool option that’s not huge and is significantly cheaper than other options and then finding out they don’t sell it here.

The people who flip out about the very mention of red flag laws are mostly the same ones right now who are celebrating the incarceration of people into foreign concentration camps without due process. Consistent for the "gun community", I guess. :/

I’ve gone out of my way for years to buy Tshirts that are made in US. Do you know where you most often find them? Festivals, fairs, concerts and events run by progressives. You know where you rarely find them? Being sold by ‘America First’ influencers & companies.

These people who want manufacturing jobs back in the US have never worked in mfg. They're low wage jobs with bad working conditions and work/life balance. US workers have enjoyed good high income work like infrastructure, engineering, and science jobs for decades. Trump killed those.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

So this will be the second major recession millennials have to live through because Boomers and Gen X voted "for the economy". Maybe they should just sit the next few out.

Cool vintage find, picked up these '70s orange tab Levi's flares. Never done flares before so just wanted to try them out. The fit is really good and the fabric is soft. #Levi's #vintage #vintageclothing #flaredjeans #70s #fashion

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.
